MAC Heavenly Creature Collection

MAC Heavenly Creature

Available July 5th- August 19th

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE the whole "planet look" of the Mineralize products in this collection. So fun.
So fun, in fact, that MAC needs to create a HUGE collection based on space. Just my thoughts...

Anyway, this collection is anchored by the Mineralize products- Mineralize Skinfinish, Mineralize Eye Shadows, and Mineralize Blush. With some lipsticks, Cremesheen Glass, and random re-promoted skincare products and brushes thrown into the mix. So if you're a fan of Mineralize products (particularly the eye shadows because they are GORGEOUS) then go ahead and get all over this.
Personally, the Mineralize Eye Shadows are not my favorite thing. Not because the quality is bad or anything, but just because I wish they were more pigmented. They are just made to be more sheer. Especially the ones (like in this collection) that are very swirly with several different colors that make up the eye shadow. So when it's all blended, it usually turns into a shade that is nothing like what it looks like. Not that that is a bad thing. I just crave for them to look like the actual shades in the pot. Yes, you can use a (very small) brush and carefully get each color onto your brush. But let's be real, that drives me CRAAAZY. My favorite Mineralize Eye Shadows are the ones that have larger shapes of color within them that you can actually work with separately or the super dark ones that contain very few colors swirled together. Those are just easier to work with and provide the best color payoff in my opinion.

As for the Mineralize blush, I've always been a fan. Just love them. Same with the MSF's. Just love.

Here are the products I received from the collection. There's lots more of the collection to see so be sure to check it out when it's released!
Also, to make things a little easier, I added a little star next to the names of products that are my favorites from the collection.

Wow, I'm really disappointed with the lipsticks! I thought the red Fire Sign would look fantastic but it's sooo sheer. Too bad it wasn't more opaque, but I guess it is Summer so they must be going for a more natural look.

Love the blush! Will definitely have to get in store to check out the rest of the collection. Agreeing with you though, will give the Mineralize Eye shadows a miss, never been a fan. Would like to hear from anyone that has been able to make them work though.

when I got the email for this I actually didnt jump, just because im not a big mineralize person, i usually go for sans shimmer. or at least im ok with the shimmer as long as it doesnt translate that way on my face lol. Kinda interested in supernova.... hmmmm :)

Once she was on my back,ergo baby carrier it felt GREAT! We took a long walk all over the neighborhood and I had absolutely ergo baby carrier uk zero shoulder and back pain like I usually get. I am now a true believer in this carrier and will be using it exclusively as ergo baby Everly grows. (The Ergo Baby also offers an infant insert for tee tiny babes available separately)
